Medium ruby, translucent at the edges. Savory dark fruit. A pleasant hint of bitterness. Nicely in balance — with good acidity. Fine-grained tannins. Quite enjoyable, starting to unfurl after a couple hours.

Vraiment Gigondas, slightly rustic, tremendous character and complexity with airy, dancing fruit, notes of funk and garrigue in spades. Light, with good acidity, cool. Beau vin.

Lovely, old-school Gig. Cool, red-fruited palate with herbes de Provence notes and sous-bois. Upright, good structure, not nearly as flabby as some of the Neufs can be in this vintage. Fully mature but will keep.

Still drinking nicely but wouldn't wait too much longer. Wonderful cedar, and sweet fruits on the nose. length was a little shorter than I would have liked but overall a very enjoyable wine.

marvelous, full-bodied, slightly tawny, sweet smelling of blackberries and damsons with nuances of new leather and old forest floors. Silky tannins, good acidity, harmonious and complex, perfectly balanced and structured for the long haul. Sorry this was my last bottle.
